Film Production Companies and Lighting Safety

Setup Film Set Lighting Safely

  • Use appropriate fall protection equipment [Amazon Affiliate Link] whenever setting up lighting at elevated heights
  • Ensure that all lighting fixtures are supported so that they will not fall, i.e., use a safety wire [Amazon Affiliate Link] or chain to suspend fixtures
  • Ensure that all lighting stands [Amazon Affiliate Link] are property weighted with sandbags [Amazon Affiliate Link]
  • Cover arc-type lamps such as HMIs in wet weather to prevent rain from entering the unit and ballast
  • When using open-faced lighting units, provide protection from shrapnel in case the bulb explodes
  • Ensure that scaffolds or other metal grids that are used to support the lighting are grounded; a multimeter [Amazon Affiliate Link] can assist with this
  • Before using any grounded equipment, test for continuity between the ground pin on the plug and the metal parts of the lighting equipment; a multimeter [Amazon Affiliate Link] can assist with this
  • Before relamping or repairing a light, turn it off and disconnect it from power source
